Cant get enough of Historic New England homes. This one is a definite to visit and visit again. Loved our tour guide (Linda I think...sorry I forgot her name). Great stories about this family and the wonderful lives they had in the house.

There is an antique car show here every year; it keeps getting bigger and better as time goes on. Its a chance to meet up with long-time friends and just have a great time. The Phillips House has two Pierce Arrow autos and a Ford Model A in its garage. Other cars are parked all down Chestnut street. I try to never miss this meet!

We stumbled upon this place walking around the Sam Mcintire district and I can’t believe it’s not one of the more well-known tourist spots. Tom was a top-notch tour guide, super knowledgeable about the family and house as well as Salem in general. Would absolutely recommend!

Very nice example of Federal period triple decker that evolved with its use, dont forget to schedule the behind to scenes tour if you love the utilitarian aspects of history as i do.

Great place to learn about one of Salems richest and most influential families and to learn about some of the more modern history of Salem (late 1700s-1960s) All of the tour guides are very knowledgeable and know pretty much everything there is to know about the Phillips family, their history and the house they lived in.

This was a great tour. The guide was very informative of the family. Walking through, hearing the stories gave you a real sense of who this family was. The house was beautifully kept and decorated. During the summer months the garage is open and you get to see the old cars in there.
